Transmission Coolers
Cheap peace of mind for towing and heavy-duty use
Transmission Coolers
Salisbury, Adelaide
A transmission cooler is almost a must-have on any four-wheel drive that tows heavy loads for extended periods of time, or any vehicle that spends high amounts of time in high temperatures going up hills. It's a really, really good recommendation — especially when it comes to the longevity of your transmission.
And the HPD ones that we always use? They fit great, they're really high quality, and they look so nice. It's a cheap piece of mind that is well worth its money.
The Problem
Most 4WDs don't have an external trans cooler dedicated just for the transmission — and that creates real risks.
High Oil Temperatures
Without a dedicated external trans cooler, the transmission oil runs at a higher temperature than it should. Over time, this degrades the oil and puts unnecessary stress on your transmission — shortening its life and increasing the chance of failure.
Catastrophic Failure Risk
Most 4WDs use a heat exchanger between the engine coolant and the transmission fluid. If something catastrophic happens and that heat exchanger fails, coolant and transmission fluid mix together — and that's an absolute catastrophe for the vehicle. Often meaning a full transmission rebuild or replacement.
The HPD Solution
HPD Transmission Coolers
The HPD transmission coolers we always use just fit great, they're really high quality, and they look so nice. A dedicated external transmission cooler eliminates the risk of coolant and transmission fluid mixing, keeps your oil temperatures down, and protects your transmission for the long haul.
It's a cheap piece of mind — especially for vehicles that tow, especially for vehicles that get pushed. Even for vehicles that don't get pushed, it's still a really good upgrade that is well worth its money.
Why Install a Trans Cooler?
Lower Oil Temps
A dedicated external trans cooler keeps your transmission oil at a safe operating temperature, even under heavy load.
Transmission Longevity
Heat is the number one killer of automatic transmissions. Lower temperatures mean a longer-lasting, more reliable gearbox.
Catastrophe Protection
Without a dedicated cooler, a heat exchanger failure can mix coolant and transmission fluid — an absolute catastrophe for your vehicle.
Peace of Mind
It's a cheap piece of mind — especially for towing vehicles. Even for vehicles that don't get pushed, it's still well worth the money.
